Garrard - DD450 Semi-automatic direct drive Tocadiscos

NICE Garrard DD450 Direct Drive Automatic Turntable Made in England
Very nice vintage Garrard DD450 "Advanced Design Group" direct drive turntable. It's really in very nice shape, and it works very nicely. All of the automatic functions work as they are supposed to, it holds a solid speed, and really sounds quite nice. These were designed by Garrard to compete with higher end, medium price Japanese tables from the likes of Technics and Denon.
It is offered with the magnificent Pickering EP HIFI cartridge with an almost new needle in its original box + 2 EXTRA original Pickering EP needles, brand new in their factory-sealed boxes!
